Art.13000xx

Fleece Super Flex Insulation Tubes, 4mm thick, sound-absorbing tubular insulation with very strong and tough foil.

Product Features:

* Fleece hose made of 100% plastic fibers.
* Laminated with a durable, water-impermeable PE film as the outer skin.
* Chemically neutral, free from corrosion accelerators, CFC-free.
* The outer skin protects the insulation material and the pipe against moisture as well damage after installation.
* 4mm thick fleece absorbs flow and crackling noises.
* Due to the sliding properties of the fleece, the hose can easily be pulled over sleeves and bends.
* Prevents the formation of dew and condensation.
* Resistant to aging and rot-proof.

Technical specifications:

* Insulation thickness 4 mm
* Length: 10m
* Temperature resistance -70 to +105°C
* Building material class Euronorm E according to DIN EN 13501-1
* Fire class national B2 according to DIN 4102
* Size range: 15mm ø to 150mm ø

   

 

Art.19000xx

Differences in technical specifications and characteristics between the Fleece Insulation tubes and the new PE insulation tubes:

Feature

Fleece Super Flex Insulation Tubes

PE Super Flex Insulation Tubes

Material

Foam core (or mineral/glass wool) wrapped in soft fleece

Closed-cell polyethylene foam

Outer Layer

Soft, fibrous fleece

Smooth PE skin; sometimes laminated with foil

Flexibility

Very flexible, easy to bend around curves

Semi-rigid; slightly flexible but retains shape

Thermal Performance

λ ≈ 0.035–0.040 W/m·K; can be reduced if compressed

λ ≈ 0.035–0.038 W/m·K; consistent over time

Moisture Resistance

Low; fleece can absorb water; needs separate vapor barrier

High; closed-cell foam resists water and vapor; foil layer optional

Durability

Outer fleece can wear, fray, or tear

Very durable; resistant to abrasion and mechanical damage

Compression Resistance

Can compress under pressure, reducing insulation efficiency

Maintains shape; minimal compression

Typical Applications

Indoor plumbing, walls/ceilings, low-moisture environments

Cold/hot water pipes, HVAC, industrial piping, outdoor use

Pros

- Soft and decorative
- Easy to handle and cut
- Flexible for tight bends

- Excellent moisture resistance
- Durable and long-lasting
- Maintains insulation efficiency
- Can include vapor barrier

Cons

- Less durable
- Can absorb moisture
- May need extra vapor barrier
- Can compress

- Less flexible than fleece
- Slightly harder to cut and fit in tight spaces
